My Turn Yet?

I'd like to get a little time too....a little time when I get to shuck my parental responsibilities and throw my kid off on someone else. I need a break just as much, if not more, than anyone else I know...and, yet, I'm the ONLY one who doesn't get that. I'll never, as long as I live, understand why God would give me a child KNOWING that I'm not going to have parents or in-laws to help me and offer me a break from time to time. I'm basically alone here. It's great, and I say that sarcastically. I will NEVER find this element of my life to be fair. I do the best I can. I'm devoted and faithful. I'm creative and selfless, in most cases. I always put my daughter ahead of myself and I've sacrificed SO much just so she can have things she wants or needs. So, when is it going to be MY turn to reap a benefit?

I have parents and in laws .... an I still don't get a break and they never help us with anything, ever. Heck I even have extra parents since my parents divorced and both remarried. You can have some of mine ;-) Take them ... please! I beg you! I'd totally babysit Alyssa for awhile and help you out if you lived nearby.

About Me

I'm a mom to one beautiful teenage girl, almost 15 years old, who I LOVE to talk about! I'm a Mississippi girl who has finally returned to her roots and amazed that it still feels like home.
I'm a southern girl, but not stupid (who invented THAT stereotype, anyway??). I know everything, yet, I'm clueless. I have everything, yet, I have nothing. I like to be alone, but I hate being lonely. I'm a walking bundle of contradictions.
